2018 The Little Car Show Information

What: "The Little Car Show" 2018

All marques from all countries may be accepted this year. We'll accept a total of 100 vehicles 25 years and older. That means this year we will accept model year 1993 and older, micro, mini and arcane vehicles with no greater than 1,601cc displacement engines or electric powered vehicles. Entries are accepted on a first come, first served basis. Registration will be closed when 100 vehicles have registered. "Drop in" entries will only be processed on show day if space is available! We also have a "Special Interest" category and may allow limited production and custom vehicles that meet the general rules and intent of the show.

Where: On Lighthouse Avenue, in downtown Pacific Grove, between Fountain and 16th Street.

Surrounded by beautiful beaches, the Victorian-era city of Pacific Grove is located at the tip of the Monterey Peninsula, between Monterey and Pebble Beach, only a few minutes from Carmel. Life magazine named Pacific Grove "Most Romantic City in the United States." VIA selected Pacific Grove as that magazine's "Best Seaside Sanctuary," Coastal Living dubbed it "A Dreamy California Destination" and Monterey County Weekly calls PG the area's "Best Wedding Location."

When: August 22nd, 2018.

Setup starting at 11am. Show times, noon to 5pm. Followed by a tour/parade around Pacific Grove's scenic waterfront and beaches beginning at Lover's Point and following Ocean View Boulevard to Asilomar.

Registration Deadline:
